Top Gear USA, the American version of the popular British motoring show, must have been popular enough for HISTORY as Jalopnik just confirmed the network's picking up TGUSA for a second season with hosts Rutledge Wood, Adam Ferrara, and Tanner Foust. »2/10/11 2:45pm 2/10/11 2:45pm

I'm crouched in the footwell of an Aston Martin V12 Vantage hammering across a dry lakebed at 140 mph, wondering why I'm not a Top Gear presenter, which, I can now confirm, is the greatest job... in the world. »11/26/10 3:00pm 11/26/10 3:00pm

The crew from 'Merican Top Gear rolled into SEMA this morning with a quintet of supercabs. We hear a certain Ray Wert might drive one, but we're not sure if we can tell anyone. So, um, keep it to yourself... »11/01/10 10:30am 11/01/10 10:30am

Amid the Lambos and Vipers, the trailer for the new American Top Gear shows off one of the last bits of information we wanted: the premiere date. Set your Tivos for Sunday, Novmeber 21st on History. Below, massive muscle-powered donuts. »10/20/10 3:20pm 10/20/10 3:20pm

I'm currently in Los Angeles for the North American launch of the 2011 Jaguar XJ. Who do you think I spotted filming on Mulholland Highway with a handful of test cars? Is that Top Gear USA? Yep! »4/27/10 8:55pm 4/27/10 8:55pm

In an exclusive interview with John Hesling, executive producer of the recently-announced-as-heading-to-the-History-Channel motoring show Top Gear USA, we learned this new American show plans on meeting or exceeding the bar set by the UK original. Wait, there's more. »4/22/10 1:00pm 4/22/10 1:00pm

As part of our coverage of the announcement of the Top Gear USA pilot, we've put together a special feature on each of the three co-hosts. Believe it or not, Adam Carolla might actually know something about cars. Good thing, especially since he's going to be one of a trio of Top Gear USA hosts. Will his unenthusiastic… »6/16/08 1:03pm 6/16/08 1:03pm

With NBC announcing its upcoming program schedule, there's one omission that we found particularly interesting. Yes, it seems that the rainbow-peacock's version of the beloved BBC hit show Top Gear is nowhere to be found. While that's not to say that the show may not somehow show up at a later date, right now it… »5/15/08 10:20am 5/15/08 10:20am

It looks like Jay Leno has some apprehensions about Top Gear America, and we're guessing he hasn't even seen the poorest imitation yet. In his column for The Sunday Times, he lists the reasons why he thinks the program is doomed (and he doesn't even mention Adam Corolla as host). Most importantly, he thinks the show… »4/01/08 10:20am 4/01/08 10:20am

According to him anyway. Adam Carolla, on his show on KLSX today, announced he'll be one of the hosts of Top Gear USA. We've got no confirmation from anyone at NBC and frankly, we don't even know who to call to confirm it. But we've got to believe Adam if he's saying it. We mean, he was on the "Man Show" — of course… »2/29/08 8:44pm 2/29/08 8:44pm

The Top Gear gossip of the day is that Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld could be hosting the American version of the show destined for US airwaves in the next couple of years. We call bollocks. The whole rumor is built upon so much circumstantial evidence that we're a little shocked it didn't come from us. We break down… »1/31/08 2:45pm 1/31/08 2:45pm
